This is #10 in the series of books by Coben featuring his crime-solving talent agent, Myron Bolitar, and his skull-cracking aristocrat buddy, Windsor “Win” Horne Lockwood III. I have read seven books by Coben now – three of the Bolitar series – and this is not one of his better ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no heroes in this one and a couple of the deaths seem to lack motive. There is also an accidental death which would have prompted an immediate police response, but it was “covered up.” Really? How? That wasn’t mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
